Chapter 105: Not Painted Skin?
"Wang Sheng?" As soon as Lin Mo heard this name, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted with a strange face: "Lin Mo is scattered in the mountains and fields, and I have seen the prefect of the king." ”
You can't blame Lin Mo for having a strange expression, it's really the name of the Jinhua prefect who is too wrong! Like Ning Caichen, Wang Sheng is also the protagonist of a story in Strange Stories! And that story is the famous painted skin!
The original story goes like this: There was a man named Wang Sheng in Taiyuan, who met a beautiful woman outside. After asking, it turned out to be a woman who was squeezed out by someone else's wife. The king vividly loved beauty, so he took it home and loved her as a concubine. Later, one day, he met a Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest said that he had evil spirits in him, and there must be evil spirits in his family. Although Wang Sheng didn't believe it, he was still suspicious when he returned home, so he carefully observed. I didn't want to, but one night, I really saw the beautiful woman I brought home taking off her human skin in the house and turning into an ugly monster!
Wang Sheng was startled, panicked, and hurried to the Taoist priest for help. The Taoist priest said that it was a little demon, so there was no need to panic, and he gave him a whisk and let him hang it outside the door, so that the monster could retreat. Wang Sheng did as he said, but he didn't expect that although the monster was startled by the dust, it was also crazy, not only tearing the dust, but also rushing into the house to disembowel the dead life, dig out his heart, and escape!
When the Taoist priest learned about this, he was furious, and personally rushed to Wang Sheng's house, eliminated the monster, and recommended a beggar-like stranger for Wang Sheng's wife, which gave Wang Shengan a heart and resurrected him.
According to the story, this Wang Sheng is just a rich man. It's not a prefect, it's still Jinhua's...... But compared to the painting wall where Manjushri is hidden, this is nothing. After all, I am in a real world, not a story composed of a few sentences...... But the question is, is this Wang Sheng, really that Wang Sheng? If not, it's just the same name, but if it is, then isn't that Cui Ji that Ning Caichen told me just a painted skin? ”
Thinking about it in his heart, Lin Mo was silent on his face. Greeted Wang Sheng.
"Since Mr. Lin is here. Then don't say too much, please come into the house! ”
"That's nature." Lin Mo smiled: "That's what I'm here for." ”
After that, Lin Mo, Wang Shengning, and Caichen entered the prefect's house.
As the prefect of evolution, Wang Sheng is undoubtedly much richer than Xu Xian. You can see it from the yard alone. Although the area is not much larger. But look at this rockery stone pavilion famous flower decoration. Everyone knows that this small palace is also worth 10,000 gold! It's even more luxurious than Zhang Yuanwai!
"Mr. Lin, please be seated. Caichen, don't be polite, sit. ”
Between words. Several people have already arrived at the lobby seat. The prefect of the king called his subordinates, offered fragrant tea, and looked at Lin Mo with anticipation.
"Mr. Lin, you must be clear, and the official will no longer hide it. You say, what evil things are hidden in this official mansion? ”
Lin Mo frowned and groaned.
Generally speaking, unless it is in one's own lair, when it goes to other places, the youkai will restrain their demonic aura so as not to reveal their identity. This is especially true of youkai who have entered human society. After all, even if there is a demon law, but the general environment is here, if it is too public, it is calling for righteous people to come and kill demons, and if you die, you can only blame yourself.
Therefore, there are only two possibilities for most of the cases where the demonic energy is detected: one is a pure little demon, whose cultivation is so low that even the demonic energy cannot be concealed. This is like the charming fox demon at the beginning, and the tiger demon in Zhaojia Village, Fangcun Mountain.
As for the second possibility, it is disdainful of hiding demonic energy. These are all big demons, such as the ancient big demon Xiangliu, who has not restrained his breath a few times when he is rampant in the world. After all, with its ability, unless it is a shot of this level of the Three Clears and Four Emperors, even the main gods of the Heavenly Court, few dare to say that they will definitely be able to win the battle.
For the little demon who was raging in the palace and was also aware of the demonic aura by the spirit rune book, Lin Mo did not hesitate to classify it as the former. But after entering the house, I had doubts about it.
"If it's this kind of little demon who can't restrain his demonic energy, he should leave traces in the mansion. But it's strange, why don't you have any demonic energy at all? ”
People have taken pictures, geese have left traces. As long as the monster is in the palace, not to mention the demonic energy, at least there must be a trace. But along the way, Lin Mo paid attention several times, but he didn't find the slightest!
"Could it be that the cultivation of this monster is actually higher, and it just had some abnormalities a few days ago, and it was accidentally discovered by the spirit rune book?"
After thinking about it, this is the only possibility. So Lin Mo coughed lightly and said, "Governor Wang, why don't you invite that Cui Ji woman to come out and meet me first, and let me ask?" ”
If that Cui Ji is really a monster wearing a painted skin, as long as she doesn't cultivate to the gods, she will definitely not be able to hide it from Lin Mo!
Of course, Wang Sheng would not refuse, and immediately nodded in agreement, summoned his subordinates, and ordered him to call Cui Ji to come.
After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and Lin Mo raised his eyes to see that it was indeed that Cui Ji who came.
Ning Caichen is right, this Cui Ji is indeed a beauty. The blown-up skin, the bewitching figure, and the weak temperament, I feel sorry for me!
"Xianggong, what do you call me for?"
"Ah, Cuiki, you're here." When the prefect of the Wang saw Cui Ji coming, he got up directly from his seat, walked up quickly, grabbed Cui Ji's soft hand, and said: "This Dao Quanzhen is Mr. Lin, the owner of Cai Chen's magic weapon that I told you." ”
"Yikes!" Cui Ji exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "The concubine has seen Mr. Lin." ”
"Lin Mo has seen Madame."
Lin Mo's gaze locked on Cui Ji, and he looked at it carefully as he responded. But soon, he was puzzled. Because in his opinion, this Cui Ji is a mortal in the flesh of a serious child, without the slightest demonic spirit.
Am I mistaken? This Wang Sheng's name just coincides?
Thinking like this, Lin Mo felt that he couldn't judge rashly, maybe the other party had some means, and he couldn't see it just by looking at it!
"Governor Wang, Lady Cui Ji seems to be very weak. I know a little bit about the way of Qi Huang, why don't you let me check the pulse, how about it? ”
Governor Wang was stunned for a moment, looked at Cui Ji, and saw that she did not object, so he nodded and said, "Then there is Mr. Lao." ”
So Cuiji stepped forward and sat down next to her, stretching out her wrist. Lin Mo didn't say a word, and put his finger up.
Does Lin Mo understand medical skills? There is no doubt that he does not understand. Something is wrong with his body, and with his mana and cultivation, he can recuperate. But when someone else is sick, he is basically powerless except for the Ganlin Mantra. Therefore, the statement of diagnosing the pulse is just an excuse, and what is really needed is to use physical contact for further detection. After all, it's a bit unsafe to look at it with your eyes alone.
A moment later, when he withdrew his finger, he sighed in his heart: "It doesn't seem to be a painted skin!" ”
No matter how magical the painted skin is, it is impossible for Lin Mo in the God Refining Realm to check it like this and not find it. So Lin Mo, who still had nothing to gain, could only casually say a few words of nonsense that he was frightened, his qi and blood were weak, and he would supplement more nutrients.
Next, the prefect Wang said a lot of information, and Lin Mo carefully analyzed it, but he found nothing. So he had no choice but to say goodbye to Ning Caichen and return to the Jinbang Building.
How could Ning Caichen, who was the first name in the government test, be watched by people and not say anything, just after Lin Mo returned to the room, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he always felt that Wang Sheng's name really showed something. So he gritted his teeth and simply made a decision: tonight, I will do a snitch and visit the palace at night! (To be continued......)
